Complete Ames bacterial reverse mutation test kits from Xenometrix in three validated formats for OECD Test Guideline 471 and ICH S2(R1) mutagenicity screening — from high-throughput miniaturized microplate assays to traditional plate incorporation formats for definitive GLP regulatory studies.

Ames MPF (Microfluctuation Plate Format) is a 384-well miniaturized liquid-suspension Ames test requiring only 1-2% of the compound quantity needed for traditional plate assays — the preferred format for pharmaceutical drug discovery screening where compound availability is limited.

Ames II is a 48-well microplate fluctuation format using TA98 and TA100 tester strains — simpler than Ames MPF while retaining the compound efficiency advantages of the miniaturized approach.

MacroAmes1 uses the classical Salmonella typhimurium plate incorporation and preincubation method per OECD TG 471 — the reference format for definitive GLP regulatory studies and for testing compounds where the liquid format is less suitable due to poor solubility or volatility.

All three formats use the standard OECD tester strain panel with and without Aroclor 1254-induced or PB/BNF-induced rat liver S9 metabolic activation. Kits include tester strains, media, controls, and validated protocols. See individual kit pages (v4) for complete component lists.
